gDiapers offer:
Flushable, decomposable diapers that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that keeps baby's skin healthier
Decomposable liners can be composted
Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper refills are completely decomposable. They're made from sustainably farmed wood fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate (SAP), which provides absorbency, and cellulose rayon. And they can be flushed down the toilet, which has a couple of wonderful benefits. First, it eliminates the need to keep smelly diapers around in a diaper pail. Second, it keeps unnecessary waste out of the landfills. And finally, the entire contents of the diaper gets processed by sewage treatment plants, which return treated, completely sanitized solids to be converted into valuable fertilizer. It's recycling at its best!
If you're unable to flush the liners, they can still be thrown in the trash without guilt, since they will decompose in 50 to 150 days -- a much better turnaround than their plastic counterparts. And, if you're a gardener, you can simply throw the wet liners in your compost bin. (Note: for sanitary reasons, never put poopy diapers in the compost.)
As Easy As Traditional Disposables -- but Healthier To use the gDiaper refills, simply fit the disposable refill into the "little g" pant's washable liner. Once the diaper is soiled, simply remove the refill from the liner and flush it.
The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, it's just as easy to put on a baby as traditional disposable diapers -- no pins to deal with here. Plus, its breathable qualities help keep baby's skin healthier by minimizing diaper rash.
Tips for Successful gDiaper Use Some plumbing systems may have problems with the flushable liners, including systems with tree-infested pipes; non-standard plumbing systems, including grinders or house traps; and septic tanks, which require close monitoring to make sure the outflow is clear. It is recommended that only poopy diapers be put into septic systems, and wet ones be composted.
But even if your plumbing system won't accept the gDiaper flushables, you can always simply throw them in the trash where they'll quickly decompose, making a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable diapers.

Perfect Alternative to Wasteful Disposables:
I love the gdiapers! SOmetimes we use the cloth inserts from cottonwood baby with the occasional albeit rare leak. The leaks with the inserts are rare. Expect to switch out gdiapers with a big poop. It doesn't get everywhere, but if you don't catch it early, then a dollop will touch the cloth, and you will have to change the diaper, but I LOVE THEM! Great to travel with also!
good product:
these inserts are great. They are eco-friendly and not a real problem to flush. My reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they really only last 2 hours (3 max) so they are not good for bedtime. But otherwise great!
good for the money:
Although pricier than other brands...I find this flushable diaper well worth the cost. It's nice to use especially for big messes...it beats washing out the cloth ones in the toilet...you can just rip, swish, and flush!!!
Great concept!:
I think that the little g diapers are a great breakthrough and good compromise for those who dislike disposable diapers for environmental and health concerns but aren't willing to use cloth diapers. I used them for a while with my infant and found them to be very comfortable for her and I never had any leaking issues. My only problem was the cost. They are significantly more expensive than disposables per diaper/flushable and if you are on a budget, which most families are, they aren't necessarily the best... more info
